Safety Guidelines
TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety
Information for Wireless Handheld phones.
Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers,
Hearing Aids, and Other Medical Devices
is required in the owner’s manual for CTIA
Certification. Use of the remaining TIA
language is encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone
is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In
August, 1996, the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for handheld
wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by both U.S.
and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
17
Safety Guidelines
Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic evaluations
of the relevant scientific literature. For
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government
health agencies, and industry reviewed the
available body of research to develop the
ANSI Standard (C95.1).
* American National Standards Institute;
National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
18
The design of your phone complies with the
FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you
would any other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily
•
when the phone is in use. Contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power
level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use
of wireless phones in the areas where you
drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please:
Give full attention to driving - driving safely
•
is your first responsibility;
Use hands-free operation, if available;
•
Pull off the road and park before making
•
or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is
shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may
not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone.
19
Safety Guidelines
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research. Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than
•
six inches from their pacemaker when the
20
phone is turned ON;
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast
pocket.
•
Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that
•
interference is taking place, turn your
phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your
service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may use equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer
or its representative regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer
21
Safety Guidelines
of any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where
posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
while in the air. Turn your phone OFF before
boarding an aircraft.
22
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations,
turn your phone OFF when in a ‘blasting
areas or in areas posted: ‘Turn off twoway
radio’. Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive
Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in
such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always,
marked clearly. Potential areas may include:
fueling areas (such as gasoline stations);
below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane
or butane); areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust,
or metal powders); and any other area
where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an
Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT
place objects, including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in the area
over the air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Centre for Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones.
1. Do wireless phones pose a health
hazard?
The available scientific evidence does
not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones.
There is no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones
emit low levels of radio frequency energy
(RF) in the microwave range while being
used. They also emit very low levels of RF
when in the standby mode. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health effects
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level
RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological
effects may occur, but such findings have
not been confirmed by additional research.
In some cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing those studies, or
in determining the reasons for inconsistent
results.
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the
safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review
the safety of radiation emitting consumer
products such as wireless phones before
they can be sold, as it does with new drugs
or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if wireless phones
29
Safety Guidelines
are shown to emit radio frequency energy
(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user.
In such a case, the FDA could require the
manufacturers of wireless phones to notify
users of the health hazard and to repair,
replace, or recall the phones so that the
hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not
justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has
urged the wireless phone industry to take a
number of steps, including the following:
Support needed research into possible
•
biological effects of RF of the type emitted
30
by wireless phones;
•
Design wireless phones in a way that
minimizes any RF exposure to the user
that is not necessary for device function;
and
Cooperate in providing of wireless phones
•
with the best possible information on
possible effects of wireless phone use on
human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working
group of the federal agencies that have
responsibility for different aspects of RF
safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the
federal level. The following agencies belong
to this working group:
National Institute for Occupational Safety
•
and Health
Environmental Protection Agency
•
Occupational Safety and Health
•
Administration (Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)
Occupational Safety and Health
•
Administration
National Telecommunications and
•
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates
in some interagency working group activities,
as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities
for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All
phones that are sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety guidelines that
limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on the
FDA and other health agencies for safety
questions about wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base stations
that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at
31
Safety Guidelines
higher power than do the wireless phones
themselves, the RF exposures that people
get from these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than those they
can get from wireless phones. Base stations
are thus not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject
of this update?
The term ‘wireless phone’ refers here
to handheld wireless phones with builtin
antennas, often called ‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or
‘PCS’ phones. These types of wireless
32
phones can expose the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because of
the short distance between the phone and
the user’s head. These RF exposures are
limited by FCC safety guidelines that were
developed with the advice of the FDA and
other federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater
distances from the user, the exposure to RF
is drastically lower because a person’s RF
exposure decreases rapidly with increasing
distance from the source. The so-called ‘
cordless phones,’ which have a base unit
connected to the telephone wiring in a
house, typically operate at far lower power
levels, and thus produce RF exposures far
below the FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research
done already?
The research done thus far has produced
conflicting results, and many studies
have suffered from flaws in their research
methods. Animal experiments investigating
the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless phones
have yielded conflicting results that often
cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A
few animal studies, however, have suggested
that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory animals.
However, many of the studies that showed
increased tumor development used animals
that had been genetically engineered or
treated with cancer causing chemicals so
as to be predisposed to develop cancer
in the absence of RF exposure. Other
studies exposed the animals to RF for up
to 22 hours per day. These conditions are
not similar to the conditions under which
33
Safety Guidelines
people use wireless phones, so we don’t
know with certainty what the results of such
studies mean for human health. Three large
epidemiology studies have been published
since December 2000. Between them, the
studies investigated any possible association
between the use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma,
or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or
salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers.
None of the studies demonstrated the
existence of any harmful health effects from
wireless phone RF exposures.
34
However, none of the studies can answer
questions about longterm exposures, since
the average period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.
5. What research is needed to decide
whether RF exposure from wireless
phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and
epidemiological studies of people actually
using wireless phones would provide some
of the data that are needed. Lifetime animal
exposure studies could be completed in a
few years. However, very large numbers of
animals would be needed to provide reliable
proof of a cancer promoting effect if one
exists. Epidemiological studies can provide
data that is directly applicable to human
populations, but 10 or more years follow-up
may be needed to provide answers about
some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between the
time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent
and the time tumors develop - if they do
may be many, many years. The interpretation
of epidemiological studies is hampered by
difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure
during day-to-day use of wireless phones.
Many factors affect this measurement, such
as the angle at which the phone is held, or
which model of phone is used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more
about the possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S. National
Toxicology Program and with groups of
investigators around the world to ensure that
high priority animal studies are conducted
to address important questions about the
effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy
35
Safety Guidelines
(RF). The FDA has been a leading participant
in the World Health Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since
its inception in 1996. An influential result
of this work has been the development of a
detailed agenda of research needs that has
driven the establishment of new research
programs around the world. The project
has also helped develop a series of public
information documents on EMF issues. The
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and Development
36
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on
wireless phone safety. The FDA provides
the scientific oversight, obtaining input
from experts in government, industry,
and academic organizations. CTIA funded
research is conducted through contracts
with independent investigators. The initial
research will include both laboratory studies
and studies of wireless phone users. The
CRADA will also include a broad assessment
of additional research needs in the context
of the latest research developments around
the world.
7. How can I find out how much
radiofrequency energy exposure I can
get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must
comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit
radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures.
The FCC established these guidelines in
consultation with the FDA and the other
federal health and safety agencies. The
FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless
telephones is set at a Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the
safety standards developed by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
(IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement. The exposure
limit takes into consideration the body’s
ability to remove heat from the tissues that
absorb energy from the wireless phone
and is set well below levels known to have
effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones
must report the RF exposure level for each
model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives
37
Safety Guidelines
directions for locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so you can find your
phone’s RF exposure level in the online
listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure
the radiofrequency energy coming
from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical
standard for measuring the radiofrequency
energy (RF) exposure from wireless
phones and other wireless handsets with
the participation and leadership of FDA
38
scientists and engineers. The standard,
‘Recommended Practice for Determining
the Spatial- Peak Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques,’ sets forth the first consistent
test methodology for measuring the rate
at which RF is deposited in the heads of
wireless phone users. The test method uses
a tissuesimulating model of the human
head. Standardized SAR test methodology is
expected to greatly improve the consistency
of measurements made at different
laboratories on the same phone. SAR is
the measurement of the amount of energy
absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body
or a small part of the body. It is measured
in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to determine whether
a wireless phone complies with safety
guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to radiofrequency energy
from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products - and
at this point we do not know that there is
- it is probably very small. But if you are
concerned about avoiding even potential
risks, you can take a few simple steps to
minimize your exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time spent using a
wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. If
you must conduct extended conversations
by wireless phone every day, you could
place more distance between your body and
the source of the RF, since the exposure
level drops off dramatically with distance.
39
Safety Guidelines
For example, you could use a headset and
carry the wireless phone away from your
body or use a wireless phone connected to
a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data
do not demonstrate that wireless phones are
harmful. But if you are concerned about the
RF exposure from these products, you can
use measures like those described above
to reduce your RF exposure from wireless
phone use.
40
10. What about children using wireless
phones?
The scientific evidence does not show
a danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to children
and teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the time of wireless phone use
and increasing the distance between the
user and the RF source will reduce RF
exposure. Some groups sponsored by other
national governments have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless
phones at all. For example, the government
in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a recommendation in
December 2000. They noted that no
evidence exists that using a wireless phone
causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use
by children was strictly precautionary; it was
not based on scientific evidence that any
health hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical
equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless
phones can interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, the FDA helped
develop a detailed test method to measure
electromagnetic interference (EMI) of
implanted cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators from wireless telephones.
This test method is now part of a standard
sponsored by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical instrumentation
41
Safety Guidelines
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the
FDA, medical device manufacturers, and
many other groups, was completed in late
2000. This standard will allow manufacturers
to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone
EMI. The FDA has tested hearing aids for
interference from handheld wireless phones
and helped develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and performance
requirements for hearing aids and wireless
42
phones so that no interference occurs when
a person uses a ‘compatible’ phone and a
‘compatible’ hearing aid at the same time.
This standard was approved by the IEEE in
2000. The FDA continues to monitor the use
of wireless phones for possible interactions
with other medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur, the FDA will
conduct testing to assess the interference
and work to resolve the problem.

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate by voice
almost anywhere, anytime. An important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must
uphold. When operating a car, driving is your
first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the
43
Safety Guidelines
wheel of a car, practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its
features such as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction manual
and learn to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer, including
automatic redial and memory. Also, work
to memorize the phone keypad so you
can use the speed dial function without
taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a handsfree device.
A number of handsfree wireless phone
44
accessories are readily available today.
Whether you choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone or a
speaker phone accessory, take advantage
of these devices if available to you.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy
reach. Make sure you place your wireless
phone within easy reach and where you
can reach it without removing your eyes
from the road. If you get an incoming call
at an inconvenient time, if possible, let
your voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous
driving conditions or situations. Let the
person you are speaking with know you
are driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As
a driver, your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone
numbers while driving. If you are reading
an address book or business card, or
writing a “to-do” list while driving a car,
you are not watching where you are
going. It is common sense. Don’t get
caught in a dangerous situation because
you are reading or writing and not paying
attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan your calls before you begin your
trip or attempt to coincide your calls with
times you may be stopped at a stop sign,
red light or otherwise stationary. But if
you need to dial while driving, follow this
45
Safety Guidelines
simple tip — dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting.
Stressful or emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are distracting
and even dangerous when you are behind
the wheel of a car. Make people you are
talking with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend conversations which
have the potential to divert your attention
from the road.
46
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.
Your wireless phone is one of the greatest
tools you can own to protect yourself
and your family in dangerous situations
— with your phone at your side, help
is only three numbers away. Dial 911
or other local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard
or medical emergency. Remember, it is a
free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others
in emergencies. Your wireless phone
provides you a perfect opportunity to be
a “Good Samaritan” in your community.
If you see an auto accident, crime in
progress or other serious emergency
where lives are in danger, call 911 or
other local emergency number, as you
would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special
wireless nonemergency assistance
number when necessary. Certain
situations you encounter while driving
may require attention, but are not urgent
enough to merit a call for emergency
services. But you can still use your
wireless phone to lend a hand. If you
see a broken-down vehicle posing no
serious hazard, a broken traffic signal,
a minor traffic accident where no one
appears injured or a vehicle, you know
to be stolen, call roadside assistance or
other special non-emergency wireless
number.

Safety Guidelines
Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the
Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines
48
and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6
W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
Although SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. Because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels
to use only the power required to reach the
network, in general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for use at the ear is 1.26 W/kg
and when worn on the body, as described in
this user’s manual, is 0.92 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phones models,
depending upon available accessories and
49
Safety Guidelines
FCC/IC requirements.) While there may be
differences between SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section
of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
50
searching on FCC ID: ZNFL35G.
Additional information on Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association
(CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/
* In the United States and Canada, the
SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
* Product meets current FCC & IC Radio
Frequency Exposure Guidelines.
